Wednesday's patch brought us the much-anticipated release of Bayonetta and Corrin. But equally important is the balance update released alongside them, shaking up the metagame for what is possibly the last time. Marth, Lucina, Roy, and Little Mac received notable buffs, while Sheik, Zero Suit Samus, Rosalina, and Sonic all had their weight slightly lowered. Every little change counts with a game as precise as Smash 4, and even the slight adjustments to Sheik's Vanish could mean the difference between victory and defeat. So you may be asking: when will we get to see top players compete on the new patch?
Fortunately, the answer is "almost immediately". Tomorrow, the best talent from the Netherlands will be gathering in Zoetermeer for Avalon U-II, the second Wii U-only installment of the popular and long-running Avalon tournament series. The tournament organizers have announced that although Bayonetta and Corrin will not be legal for the tournament, the event will be played on the new patch. And, as if that's not enough, Avalon U-II will be awarding circuit points towards a Round-Robin invitational of Dutch players at the end of the year. All the more reason to tune in!
For those unfamiliar with the Dutch scene, let's meet some of the top threats in this tournament:
